Hi,
Just looking for advice on best approach to find affordable health insurance.
Here is my situation:
I am 55 and DW is 58. We retired 20 months ago, house is paid for and we are currently covered by COBRA at $602 per month for both of us. We are in good shape but insurance companies pick at anything.
After COBRA, I can get group coverage as retireree from previous employer, but coverage is not that great and will cost about $725/month for both of us.
Here is the question: Is there any peril in applying for health insurance on website linked from this forum just to see if we can get accepted and at what cost. What are the downsides of doing that given my situation sinced I can get insurance after COBRA.
I ask as I have heard that if one applies and is denied, that can cause difficulty.
Appreciate any insights as I would like to see if we can get it cheaper.
Thanks
